I really love the atmosphere of the 1970's/1980's club scenes in films of that era.

The classics are The Decline of Western Civilization (1981), Suburbia (1983), Another State of Mind (1984 Documentary), and Urgh! A Music War (1981 Documentary), since they were the only ones available at the time.

Also check out Flipside Videos (Los Angeles Flip Side, was a 1980s punk zine) and Target Video (Target was a San Francisco-based studio which recorded punk shows in the late 1970s to the early 1980s).

"Kids in a fast lane living for today  No rules to abide by and no one to obey  Sex, drugs and fun is their only thought and care  Another swig of brew another overnight affair

 House of the filthy, house not a home  House of destruction where the lurkers roamed  House that belonged to all the homeless kids  House of the filthy, house not a home  House of destruction where the lurkers roamed  House that belonged to all the homeless kids  Kids of the black hole"

"Kids of the Black Hole", The Adolescents.

Punk never died and will never. 70's 80's 90's 00's. All had their punk scenes. Check out the thrash grass/folk punk scene right now to see (they are playing at your local clubs) what they will be making movies about in the 20's  Days n Daze, Blackbird Raum etc. the punk scene is still alive.
